We are excited to announce that more new music from RAS has been released!!!

Unlike most of the new music we post on rasofficial.com though, this is an original release from the songwriter & producer himself. When asked about his motivation behind releasing the song, RAS commented “‘Doesn’t Get Better’ is a look at the music I create when I’m not creating for other projects. It also felt like a cool way to thank people for continuously supporting the music I make. So thank you!”

“Doesn’t Get Better” is officially out now via the songwriter’s own label, AttaBoy Music. Check it out below and be sure to get it on iTunes as well!

After so many years together, we never want to let our fans down, and this feels like a massive achievement on their part as much as ours.” Congratulations to RAS who co-wrote “Runaways” and “Don’t You Go” with the band!

“Runaways” will indeed need a spot on your running playlist, with its catchy chorus, upbeat bells and easy beat. Alex, Jack, Zack and Rian’s new track encourages you to run from the haters: “So let’s run away, they will have to find another heart to break,” they sing.

People have been waiting to hear back from Lokal Legend for months. The NYC-based label that spurred the breakout success of Kiesza and her smash single “Hideaway” returns nearly a year later with a dazzling debut from Listenbee. Rami Ufani, label founder and producer for Kiesza, shares a few words on the track: “From the moment I heard ‘Save Me’, I knew that the Listenbee project was the perfect follow up to the Kiesza release. Listenbee breaks down barriers in the electronic world, while maintaining a strong sense of artistry, musical integrity and songwriting acumen. Listenbee’s aesthetic simply aligned perfectly with my vision for the Lokal Legend brand.”

“Save Me”, co-written with RAS, takes shape as a juicy folk house hybrid with catchy guitar plucks and steady percussion. A warm vocal topline takes center stage, its soothing melody carrying momentum toward the hook. The track boasts impressively diverse instrumentation, featuring several string arrangements, tamborines, and more. In short, “Save Me” is an undeniable hit, and everyone should have their eye on Listenbee moving forward.

Yahoo Music premiered the official video for “The Nights,” this morning. The video was produced and directed by and stars Rory Kramer, a friend of RAS’, who filmed an exuberant action-packed recollection of his own life on roller coasters, surfing, snowboarding, skateboarding, balloon flying, etc. – living a life to be remembered.

Kramer calls himself a “Professional life liver”. On his website, he describes his philosophy: “I want others to look at my life and see how much fun I have and think, ‘If he can do all these awesome things then why can’t I?’” About the video, Avicii himself says, “The video for ‘The Nights’ is awesome. It’s exactly what I feel when I play the song live and it is the perfect representation of the lyrics.” Watch the video for “The Nights” below!
